This research aimed to thoroughly explore various technological options and social determinants within the entrepreneurial interest of college students who are oriented toward conservation and a green economy. In order to achieve this aim, the research model was designed using an exploratory method with a path analysis approach, which was adopted to determine the direct, indirect, and total effects of various social determinants of the technological options. Furthermore, the primary data used comprise fundamental microdata, obtained through the distribution of structured surveys. The research comprised the participation of 250 respondents, all of which represented the entrepreneurial interests of students and were selected using a simple random sampling technique. In accordance with this, an illustrative block-pillar approach, which is typically used for housing construction, was adopted to facilitate understanding. The results obtained from this research show that the green economy has a significant positive influence on the direct and indirect outcomes of core determinant factors, aspirations, abilities, and attitudes of students in conservation entrepreneurship. During the course of this research, a new hypothesis was formulated, stating the presence of a causal and simultaneous relationship between green economy performance and student conservation entrepreneurship. Based on the observations made in this investigation, it is recommended that further examination be carried out on the causal relationship and simultaneous influence between conservation entrepreneurship interests and the green economy in relation to sustainable development goals. Accordingly, it is important to acknowledge that the obtained results contribute significantly to the existing theories stating the capability of university institutional policy strategies to provide relevant and targeted collective solutions suitable for mitigating the negative influence of global climate change.
